Rectangles, of which squares are a special case.
In short, no. Similar shapes are shapes in which all corresponding angles congruent regardless of the length of the sides. Congruent shapes have congruent corresponding angles and corresponding sides. In effect congruent shapes is a special condition of similar shapes.
The angles for congruent shapes and the angles in similar shapes are all the same. All the sides are also proportional in both. Basically, all congruent shapes are similar but not all similar shapes are congruent.
the opposite angles are congruent
Shapes are said to be congruent when they have the same dimensions and same angles
Any polygon with 2n sides (n integer) where opposite sides are parallel, will have its opposite angles congruent.

the opposite angles are congruent
Shapes are said to be congruent when they have the same dimensions and same angles
Any regular polygon with an even number of sides will have opposite angles of equal measure.
square and a rectangle
No. In a parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent.
Congruent
No but the base angles are congruent
Opposite angles are congruent in a parallelogram.
